As seen in and rated on
A year of invoices. Still on page three.
Toronto is one of the most crowded search markets in Canada. The usual agency deal here: sign for 6 or 12 months, wait 3 to 6 for anything to move, and read monthly reports about “progress” while the calls go to someone else.
01
You’re asked to commit for a year before anyone commits to a result.
02
Charts about impressions and “visibility”. The phone doesn’t ring any more than it did.
03
A search in Scarborough and a search in Etobicoke show different businesses on Google Maps. One generic page can’t win both.
We flipped it. Dates first, in writing.

Dates first. Then the work.
Days 1 to 20
We fix whatever slows your website down or hides it from Google, set up your Google Maps listing so it shows for the right searches, and build the pages Google needs to see before it ranks you in Toronto. You see the first improvements inside 20 days. That’s our first guarantee.
Days 21 to 60
New pages, mentions of you on trusted Toronto and industry websites, and listings in the local directories Google checks, all aimed at the searches that bring paying customers. Your qualifying keywords reach page one within 60 days. That’s our second guarantee.
Day 61 on
More searches, more neighbourhoods, more of the GTA. And your name in Google’s AI answers and ChatGPT when people ask who to hire.
Every Toronto plan includes
Every job that moves you up. Done for you.
Ranking in Toronto is never one trick. Google looks at your Maps listing, your website, who talks about you, how close you are to the searcher, and now what its AI can say about you. We run all eight jobs below, so you never have to manage five vendors or learn the jargon.
01 · Google Maps
Your Google Business Profile is the listing that shows in the three spots under the map. We pick the categories that match what Toronto customers search, list every service, add real photos and post regular updates, so Google has everything it needs to show you for the right searches.
What you get: more calls and direction requests straight from Google Maps.
02 · Reviews
Reviews are one of the signals Google weighs, next to relevance, distance, links and your website. They are also what customers read before they pick up the phone. We set up an easy way to ask happy customers at the right moment, and every review gets a reply.
What you get: a steady flow of fresh reviews that give people who find you a reason to call.
03 · Local listings
Google checks that your name, address and phone number match everywhere they appear: Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, Yellow Pages, and Toronto and industry directories. We fix the listings that are wrong and add the ones that are missing.
What you get: Google trusts your address, so you show for nearby searches.
04 · Website fixes
We fix what stops Google reading your website: slow pages, broken links, pages Google can’t find, layouts that break on phones. Then we add the code behind the scenes that tells Google what you sell, where you work and when you’re open.
What you get: every page you have can rank, on phones as well as laptops.
05 · Pages that rank
One page for each service you sell and each part of the GTA you serve, written the way Toronto customers search: “emergency plumber Etobicoke”, “family lawyer North York”. Each one answers the questions buyers ask before they call.
What you get: you show up for dozens of searches, not just one.
06 · Trusted mentions
Google ranks the businesses other websites vouch for. We earn mentions and links from Toronto news and community sites, industry associations, suppliers and partners. No spam and no link farms.
What you get: enough authority to pass bigger competitors with older websites.
07 · AI answers
When someone asks ChatGPT or Google’s AI who to hire in Toronto, it names businesses it can check. We give it clear facts about you, answers to the questions customers ask, and mentions on the sites it reads.
What you get: your name in the answer, the way EquityRich and Rosedale already are.
08 · Proof
Every keyword we work on, where it stood the day we started and where it stands now. Search any of it on Google yourself. No vanity charts.
What you get: proof the work is paying off, measured against our two guarantees.
Want to see which of the eight is holding you back? We’ll show you on the call.
Google Maps changes every few blocks.
Google Maps ranks businesses partly by how close they are to the person searching. So the top three for “dentist” at Yonge and Eglinton is not the top three in Liberty Village. We check your rankings across the parts of the city you serve, then build the pages and local listings to win each one.
We put our money where our rankings are.

FAQ
What Toronto business owners ask us before they hire an SEO company.
Book my free strategy callOur plans for Google Maps and the main Google results (local and organic SEO) run $1,497 to $5,000 a month, and $5,000+ a month when you have several websites.

Eight jobs, all done for you: we set up and run your Google Business Profile, grow your Google reviews, fix your local listings, fix your website so Google can read it, build a page for each service and area you serve, earn mentions on trusted websites, get you into AI answers, and show you every ranking each month so you can check it on Google yourself.
We choose the categories that match what your customers search, list every service, add real photos and post regular updates, and build a steady flow of new reviews with a reply to each one. Then we make sure your name, address and phone number match on every directory Google checks, so it trusts your location.
Yes. Google ranks the businesses other websites vouch for, so we earn mentions and links from Toronto news and community sites, industry associations, suppliers and partners. No spam, no link farms and nothing that could get your website penalized.
Every month we add or improve the pages that matter most for your keywords: service pages, neighbourhood pages and answers to the questions buyers ask before they call. How many depends on how crowded your market is in Toronto, and we map it out with you on the strategy call.
In the three places they look before they hire: the top three spots on Google Maps, the main Google results, and the AI answers in Google and ChatGPT. Our Toronto work covers all three, so the same customer finds you wherever they search.
The one that puts dates in writing and shows you rankings you can search yourself. Ask every agency three things: what moves in 20 days, what is on page one in 60, and what happens if it isn’t. Our guarantees answer all three, and we’re rated 4.8 on Google from 197 reviews.
Yes. Awkward Media is at 30 Ordnance St, Unit 2006, Toronto, ON M6K 0C8. Call our Toronto line on +1 437 561 0203, 9am to 5pm Eastern. Strategy calls run on Google Meet, so you don’t need to come in.
Yes. We rank businesses across the GTA, from Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville and Burlington to Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Ajax and Pickering, and across Canada and the US.
Local SEO gets you onto the map and into the three businesses listed under it when someone nearby searches. Regular SEO gets your website into the main Google results below. Most Toronto clients run both, because the same work feeds the two.
AI SEO is included in every plan, and it works to get your business named when Toronto customers ask Google’s AI or ChatGPT who to hire. EquityRich and Rosedale Wellness Centre are already cited as sources in Google’s AI answers for Toronto searches.
Every keyword we work on, where it stood the day we started and where it stands now, plus what we did that month and what comes next. Every ranking is one you can search on Google yourself, measured against our 20-day and 60-day guarantees.
No. Every plan is month to month. Results keep you here, not paperwork.
